Editing Echelon Users - Feature Request

Open FrikFry opened this issue 14 years ago • 3 comments

In the current setup, if you give a user group the editing users permission, they are capable of modifying everyone's user group, which is a bit of a problem. I think it would be beneficial if the editing user section of sa was modified in such a way that you could only set permissions that were below your own, unless you are the siteadmin. For example, a senioradmin could only set people as an admin or a mod.

you're absolutely right, I actually only just tried to login with an account at a level lower then site admin. I also noticed that it seems silly that senior admins can view site admin when they can't do anything there...

Forgot to tack this on, it would probably make sense if ech_groups was also reorganized so that visitor was at the bottom, instead of above the siteadmin. That would probably make the logic section a bit easier.

Except that if you ever wanted to add a level between 2 exsiting levels this would be a problem as the groups database is by default a dense set, with no room for inserting by ID between the two, and have to then shift everyone up and down a level... But this does need to be done.
